Psycho, Rear Window And More Hitchcock Films Coming To 4K Ultra HD

Have I used the lead-in about how many movies we’ve all been watching since the pandemic hit? Yes? Loads of times? My ghost writer is working on some new suggestions. In the meantime, let’s talk about something we’ve all been doing to pass the time while all the bars are shut. Watching movies. Didn’t see that one coming.

The last few months have seen plenty of new films release on digital. Lots of good ones, I’m sure. But why not take a dip in the past? A brand new 4K Ultra HD set of classic Alfred Hitchcock movies is reportedly being prepped for release in the near future. The set will include Psycho, Rear Window, Vertigo and The Birds, four immensely canonical names for any film fan to digest. Also included will be the original uncut version of Psycho, which contains minor pieces of footage that were removed from the finished movie.

You know, my dirty secret when it comes to being locked down at home is, contrary to the preamble, I haven’t been watching many movies. Shock horror! This is the plot to one of Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary unmade films. But really, if like me you’ve been slacking on your cinema education of late, this could be as good a place as any to get back into the groove.

Thinking of checking out these classic Alfred Hitchcock movies on 4K? Drop a comment with your thoughts below. I’m also happy to take more suggestions for classics that should get a spanky swanky new release. This one should definitely be worth it, though, especially with the titles attached.

Hugh Jackman Opens Up About Filming Wolvie’s Death Scene In Logan

For Hugh Jackman, Logan was a deeply emotional project. The 2017 superhero-cum-western marked his final performance as Wolverine, having played the character for nigh-on two decades. With the dust now settled on his departure, Jackman has opened up a little more about filming Wolverine’s death scene, and here’s what he told Anne Hathaway as part of Variety’s Actors on Actors issue:

“I knew it was going to be my last one way before we wrote it. I made that decision. There was a weight of expectation that I’d been carrying. I was super invested.

I felt so in it. I was working with a director that I worked with three times before, who I trust implicitly, Jim Mangold. I remember when we shot that scene, we were shooting very high altitude, and there were thunderstorms going off everywhere, and we had to shut down. He just said, ‘We can’t do this big stunt scene. But we’re just going to do the death scene.’ I’m like, ‘Like, now?’ He goes, ‘I’m just going to have you and Dafne [Keen], and if you could just do that.’ I’m like, ‘All right.’ He knew that’s best for me.”

As Jackman says, with so much invested in the character, his departure was always going to cut deep. But he needed the right production to convey that on-screen, and thankfully he got it. Not every movie has a perfect scene, but everything came together in this one.

Despite vocal calls (and increasingly fervent rumours) that Jackman will be returning as Wolverine for a post-Fox appearance, it’s understood he has no intention of doing so. In fact, last month, we heard that he had turned down the chance to star as the MCU’s Wolverine, which marries up with his repeated commitment to never returning to the part. Good for him I’d say.

I’ve never made a secret of my appreciation for what all involved achieved with Logan. Eschewing traditional tropes of the genre in favour of gritty, stripped down drama, it succeeded spectacularly, giving its eponymous anti-hero the send-off he deserved. It’s thoroughly worth your time if you haven’t seen it – though you might have to catch up on the 7 preceding X-Men movies for some context.

Got any thoughts of your own? Drop us a comment below. We may not be seeing anymore of Hugh Jackman in the X-Men universe, but I think we can be content with what we got. Logan was a stonking way to bow out. That’s for sure.

Uber has made an offer to buy food delivery company Postmates, according to a report in The New York Times. The report doesn’t say how big the deal would be, but it could be finalized as soon as tonight; discussions are said to be ongoing.

Demand for Uber’s ride-hailing business has plummeted during the coronavirus pandemic as people stay at home, but the same circumstances have driven a huge increase in food delivery orders. Uber has been looking for ways to boost its food service, Uber Eats, after laying off more than a quarter of the company’s overall workforce.

Uber attempted to buy GrubHub earlier this year, but the deal fell apart amid reported antitrust scrutiny and GrubHub ended up going to European service Just Eat Takeaway for...
